Flo The Action

Yeah I saw that interview. Doesn't sound like Ryan not playing had anything to do with the flu. It may be that the coach is sending a slight message without completely throwing him under the bus.

He did say something interesting that I'd noticed since Ryan coming over and that Ryan is behaving much more like a playmaker than a scorer. Apparently according to Boucher that's how Ryan sees himself also. Well I could live with that if Ryan was a 60-70 point player but he's not. I mean part of that is also playing with dzingel who is developing well but not a 30-40 goal scorer.Hence there an need for dorion to get a quality player to play on that LW. I'm sure that would translate to more goals from that line and likely more goals from Ryan also. Freaking day dreaming. I know.

We play the Penguins on Thursday; on Wednesday night the Penguins are in Washington. I assume they will play Fleury in the in-Division match, leaving us to face their backup. With Murray injured and Condon over here, do we even know who their backup is? Or will they go ahead and play Fleury back-to-back? Either way, good news for City Ottawa.

The following game, we host the Leafs on Saturday, and the Leafs are playing on Friday in New York. The soft schedule continues.

The game after that we fly to St. Louis for the Tuesday game. The blues, meanwhile, are on a short 3-game road trip, playing the Ducks on Sunday before coming home. First home game after a road trip, one less day to recover. Again, could be very beneficial to the City Ottawa Senatores.
